Product Data Sheet Siloxane based water repellent impregnation Sikagard -700 S is a one part water repellent impregnation for absorbent cementitious substrates. It penetrates well into the open pores of the substrate, providing a durable water repellency, while still allowing water vapour diffusion in both directions. Uses Sikagard®-700 S is used as a water repellent and colourless protective surface ■ Absorbent exposed materials such as concrete etc.. ■ Brickwork (clay and lime sand, non vitrified). ■ Reduction of capillary water absorption. ■ Improves resistance to frost and de-icing salts. ■ Reduces dirt penetration into the pores. ■ Improves thermal insulation. ■ Can be overcoated with dispersion coating. ■ Higher durability and resistance than conventional silicone based treatments. ■ Does usually not change the appearance of the substrate. ■ Reduces chloride ion ingress and movement. ■ Does not act as a vapour barrier. Product Data Appearance / Colour Colourless liquid. Storage Conditions / 12 months from date of production if stored in undamaged and unopened, original Shelf Life sealed packaging, in cool and dry conditions at temperatures at maximum +20°C. Protect from direct sunlight.
